It is a comprehensively study of these parties' development, character and systems in relation to everything from ideology, funding and crises to leadership, civil society, traditional and social media, and electoral politics. The author shows that, while the organisation and institutionalisation of Nigerian political parties remain fragile, they have taken on a new form in the Fourth Republic. The book provides researchers, policymakers and students with insights into the development of Nigeria's politics in light of its colonial legacy and its struggle against the institutionalisation of strong political institutions for democratisation.
